1. Having a baby is awesome! Melissa is finally starting to show and it’s very sexy…not going to even lie about it.  And in 4 days (Tuesday), we get to find out whether we’re having a boy or girl.  We are so freaking excited about that.  We’ve been dying to know.  And on top of all that, about 5 minutes ago Melissa told me to put my hand on her stomach and I felt the baby kick.  That was one of the coolest and most humbling feelings I’ve ever felt.
2. I love seeing students share their faith. This morning Andy and I went to Woodland Middle School FCA to hear one of our students, Noah Oakley, speak to about 50 of his peers.  He shared that we should never worry about what we are facing because nothing is too small for God.  It actually reminded me of a quote I once heard, “When confronted with a Goliath-sized problem, do you think, ‘He is just too big to face!’  Or like David do you think, ‘He is just too big to miss!’”  Great job this morning, Noah!  We’re really proud of you.
3. The Office was hilarious last night. I’ll be honest…I was starting to get a little worried at the start of this season.  It just didn’t seem to have much substance and wasn’t all that funny.  But after the Jim and Pam wedding episode last week and now with this hilarious one as well…The Office is back on track!
4. I finally got an Avalon U5. I’ve been wanting an Avalon U5 for about 4 years now.  But they are stinking $600 new and I just couldn’t afford that.  Well, the sound guy, Steve, at Burnt Hickory told me he had a friend with one.  He offered me a great deal and I’m selling some other gear to offset it and I got it.  I used it Wednesday night for the first time and I was just blown away.  The tone that this thing produces is phenomenal.  I already thought my acoustic sounded great already but this is the icing on the cake.
5. I finished reading “Wild at Heart”. My buddy Joel returned from serving in the Navy and mentioned this book in one of our first conversations.  As he handed me his copy to borrow he said, “This book has changed my life.”  I echo that.  It is about a being the man that God has created us to be instead of the one that society and culture has told men to be.  It was a great read and taught me a lot.  If you haven’t read “Wild at Heart” as a man, then I strongly encourage you to read it.  For the women, the author and his wife co-wrote “Captivating“.  Don’t miss out on these awesome books!
